bootable scanner ???
Hi Guys.

I hope I am posting in the right place.

I have been asked to go and look at my bosses computer which seems to have some sort of infection/spyware issue.
I am wondering if someone could tell me how to make a bootable virus scanner c.d.

I have the boot c.d that came with my norton antivirus and I know that you can boot and do a virus scan from it but I want to make one that has the up to date definitions on it.

I am running norton 360 on my system and would like to know if I can make a bootable c.d that will use my definitions or If I can make one from the bootable c.d that I allready have and update the definitions that are on that c.d

REGARDS

Darren

Thanks in advance for your help.

Here's one from Avast! if you can convince them to let you download it:

Bootzilla (Bootable anti-malware CD with many other tools. Most tools run from CD within Windows.)
